I have noticed for a while now that my area gets somewhat irritated usually just itches or discomfort when I am wearing pads. I use Always. Could I be allergic? If so then is there a brand of pads that is like for sensitive skin or something? Thanks in advance.

I have sometimes found this to be a problem as well, but never thought of allergies nessecerily, just that perhaps dampness causes a similar problem that causes babies' nappy rash/diaper rash. Try changing them more often, using a baby wipe/feminine wipe/wet washcloth when you change the pad, and see if that helps.
It's entirely possible to be allergic - same as anyone being allergic to certain perfumes etc on their skin. Look for less processed things (sorry, don't know the brands there!), unbleached, unperfumed, things like that.

I get a bit of a rash sometimes under the pad - similar to babies diaper rash, I suppose. This happens whether I use Always or Kotex or other pads. I don't think you are allergic - it's probably caused because they make you hot due to the plastic or whatever. I use a bit of baby talc after bathing and change the pads regularly and also use as small ones as I can get away with. Having said all that, if your itching is really bad, it COULD be allergy, but I've just never heard of that before.

I've met some women who have a problem using Always pads because of the kind of material used on the pads to try and catch the flow. What some of these women are doing is using a kind of pad called Glad Rags or other similar natural type menstrual protection and have had good results with it.

I used to be allergic to nearly all raw fruits and vegetables, but my symptoms started when I was under two. I could not eat salad, and just getting watermelon juice on my skin made me break out in a rash. It is oral allergy syndrome and it is related to pollen allergies. What cured me was allergy desensitization shots. After being on the shots for five years for my pollen allergies, my allergy to raw fruits and vegetable actually went away! Now I can actually eat salad and watermelon.
